System Hot Fix Blocks: The number of blocks in the Hot Fix redirection
area set aside for Hot Fix and Mirroring tables. These blocks are used to
manage both Hot Fix and mirroring.
The number of available Hot Fix blocks equals the total number of Hot
Fix blocks, minus the used and system Hot Fix blocks.
4 Note the number of used Hot Fix blocks and compare it to the total
number of blocks and the number of available blocks.
If the number of redirected blocks is zero or very low, and if it has not
changed since you last reviewed the statistics, you do not need to take
corrective action.
If the number of redirected blocks has increased substantially since you
last reviewed the statistics, or if the number is over half the total number
of redirection area blocks, back up the data on the hard disk and
troubleshoot the disk, controller, and host bus adapter.
If the number of redirected blocks has increased slightly since you last
reviewed the statistics, monitor the server closely and be prepared to
troubleshoot the hardware if necessary.
